| Audio Research VT80SE amp vs Prima Luna EVO 400 or 300 Thanks to DaveyF for weighing in. His description of the Guarnieri Homage speakers is accurate and much better articulated than mine. At this point, I'm leaning toward Audio Research- there are some obvious and other reasons. @flame, thanks for... | |
| Audio Research VT80SE amp vs Prima Luna EVO 400 or 300 @jrw1971"I waffle between my teenage brain seeking punch and sizzle, to a more adult appetite for effortlessness and flow."i can relate, even tho' I'm well into my "golden years."

| Audio Research VT80SE amp vs Prima Luna EVO 400 or 300 Thanks to all for your helpful posts. @rushfan, both my golden-eared wife and I are partial to "warm." Hence our fondness for the vintage Sonus Faber GH speakers, although I’d never characterize the sound as "syrupy." @5751That "hum" issue is a co... | |

| Underwood core power gold cable @hasmarto Thank you for your excellent investigative work. | |
| Maggies and Wells Audio together One fundamental principle in evaluating any and all levels of audio gear is to avoid using the plague known as "smooth jazz" as any kind of remotely useful indicator. | |
| Maggies and Wells Audio together douglas_schroeder"enrichment" "wider experience" aaaah, there are the tickets to ride that I must have been missing. But at least I now have a couple of new terms to add to the old audiophile lexicon. :)After decades of fiddling with this and that... | |
| Maggies and Wells Audio together @douglas_schroeder I haven’t heard nearly enough speakers to have the remotest clue of what "the end all, and be all" might be. :) But I will say that I am quite fond of my new-to-me pair of Sonus Faber Guarneri Homages. They’re kinda special, I d... | |
| Maggies and Wells Audio together A little late to this game, but I have used an Innamorata with Maggie .7s and the sound was hardly "laid back" as Mr. Schroeder suggests. I think vivid and robust would far more accurate adjectives. |
